Don't do that.  Bleed the brakes.  Get friend and do the pump and bleed method, or go get a pressure bleeder or a vacuum bleeder and do it yourself.  You should be able to get bled out well enough to have brakes.  If you do have air in the abs module, you'll need to take it in and have them bleed it out.  It requires a scan tool that will activate the abs while bleeding to get the air out of it.

 

Don't forget to buy a couple quarts of new fluid and make sure the mc reservoir never gets empty.

Note, the abs module will have only a small amount of air in it, and your brakes will work if the rest of the system is properly done.

 

Some people will go to a gravel road and then hit the brakes hard enough to activate the abs system, multiple times, to get the air out of the abs system instead of using the computer to do it.

 

And hte overall process is

-bench bleed the MC

-bleed all 4 corners, starting with the wheel furthest from the MC to the nearest

-perform the abs bleeding procedure

-bleed all 4 corners again, in the same order

...that would be called a pressure bleeder (vs a vacuum bleeder that sucks fluid through the system)

It was suppose to be a vacuum but i turned it around and pushed it through..checked this out i just got it running i statted it then i killed it i went to start it up all dead no power. I stsrted looking around and over by the fuse box i found some wires that was cut almost all the way through when i picked them up they broke loose now i cant find the other end
